Hello all the Italian Brokies - found out recently that part of my world is going to be in parts of your world...
From Dec. 28 2007 - Jan. 6 2008, the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire Blugold Marching Band will be making a tour in Italy and Greece. Destinations: Florence, Montecatini, another Tuscan city, Rome, Athens and another Greek destination. The tour will begin with performances and sightseeing in Florence, then Pisa and another stop. The highlight of the Italian tour will be a performanace in St. Petere Square, Vatican City on the morning of New Years Day 2008. Then the tour moves on to Athens and another Greek destination.
Music is a big tradition at UWEC, many chorale groups have made European tours, but this is the first I've seen one of the bands making a tour. Just thought that people might enjoy knowing that our worlds overlap in other ways.
